A gaming machine and method, in which a multiple option trigger condition present in a game instance outcome results in a further determination of possible awarding of one or more prizes from multiple hierarchical tiers of prizes. Determinations as to awarding prizes from one or more of the hierarchical tiers can result automatically from the multiple option trigger condition; and different multiple option trigger conditions can be present in the outcome which can result in different methods of determining what prizes, if any, will be awarded from the multiple hierarchical tiers of prizes.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a bonus game that is common to a bank of electronic gaming devices. One or more pools accrue with each wager placed. A player qualifies to play the bonus game when at least one tracked player or game criterion, such as wagers made, exceeds a threshold, triggers a mystery-jackpot counter, or is selected by a weighted pay table. The bonus game includes a video display of a wheel bouncing against a brick wall with bricks being exploded by coins. After an opening is formed in the wall and the wheel escapes, a wheel spin determines the bonus game outcome. More than one player may play the bonus game in sequence until the last player spins the wheel.

A bonus providing element distinct from an underlying game enables bonus awards to players at two or more player positions of the underlying game based upon receipt of a predetermined triggering outcome in the underlying game by the bonus providing element providing an indication of at least three individual random indicators, such as: a) a first random indicator configured to provide an identification of a first award to be awarded to qualifying players of the players of the underlying game; b) a second random indicator configured to provide an identification of a single one of the two or more player positions; and c) a third random indicator configured to provide an identification of a second award to be awarded to the player at the single one of the two or more player positions indicated by the second random indictor.

A gaming machine having three displays of (1) five mechanical reels, (2) five video reels and (3) a single multi-slice wheel. Gaming interaction between the three displays provides a base game on the mechanical reels from which (1) a first spinning-reel-type bonus game is triggered and (2) a second wheel-type bonus game is triggered.

Embodiments of the present invention set forth systems, apparatuses and methods for providing gaming devices having a poker mystery feature. Accordingly, a gaming device can be configured to have sub-symbol overlays that specify a replication feature that may replicate a card associated with the sub-symbol overlay and either replace a specified card that is adjacent to the card associated with the sub-symbol overlay, or create a multi-indicia card using the replication. Replication may mean a direct copy of the card associated with the sub-symbol overlay or may mean providing a card that is related to the card associated with the sub-symbol overlay according to predefined rules.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide an electronic gaming machine, systems and methods with a wheel feature mode dependent on base game outcomes. Specifically, a gaming machine comprises a user interface, a display device, and a game controller. The wheel feature mode is triggered during a base game based on wheel feature mode trigger conditions. The wheel feature mode animates a graphical user interface to present a spinning feature wheel that provides credit value awards, dependent on base game outcomes (e.g., one or more base game bingo pattern outcomes), through a sequence of player-initiated feature wheel spins. If one or more winning base game outcomes remain in the base game, the wheel feature mode continues with each wheel slice value reset, such that the minimum wheel slice value is equal to or greater than the previous spinning feature wheel credit value award which continues until no winning base game outcomes remain.

A gaming device comprises a display, a processor, and a memory storing (a) a current symbol position state defining, for each of a plurality of columns of symbol positions, a number of symbol positions for which symbols are to be selected; (b) a pay table; and (c) instructions. When the instructions are executed by the processor cause the processor to control the display to display a plurality of columns of symbol positions corresponding to the current symbol position state, select symbols for the displayed symbol positions by selecting stopping positions of a plurality of reel strips, wherein at least one of the reel strips comprises at least one designated symbol, evaluate the selected symbols for winning combinations based on the pay table, and responsive to the selected symbols of a column including a designated symbol, modify the symbol position state for the respective column to include at least one additional symbol position for a next symbol selection.

The present invention relates to a device (1) for trapping ecdysozoans, in particular insects and arachnids such as bedbugs, cockroaches, ants and spiders. In particular, the trap of the present invention comprises a sticky substance (7) on the interior surface of the roof (3) and/or of the walls (5b). The present invention also relates to methods to trap ecdysozoans.

The present invention provides a gaming machine that can maintain expectation in a game in which a prize is selectively granted to a player and continue the game. The gaming machine includes a display that displays a video reel having a plurality of symbols including a predetermined symbol and a plurality of cells, to each of which a prize is allocated and a controller that executes a base game in which a bet is necessary and the plurality of symbols are rearranged after scrolling of the video reel, when the predetermined symbol is rearranged in the base game, displays content of a prize of a cell in which the content of the prize is not displayed, when contents of prizes of all of the plurality of cells are displayed, selects one cell from the plurality of cells by lottery, and, when content of a prize allocated to the one cell is a transition to a bonus game more advantageous than the base game, transitions the base game to the bonus game.

Gaming systems and methods that replicate a symbol driven event obtained at one gaming device at one or more other gaming devices.
